The news first broke out online.

A set of intimate photos of Ye Mingmei and Yu Xiuzhun was posted on social media.

The photos weren’t too revealing, just Ye Mingmei feeding Yu Xiuzhun.

And a scene of the two kissing...

The angle of the photos was quite beautiful. Yu Xiuzhun had Ye Mingmei pressed against the wall, his tall figure almost completely covering her, leaving only a delicate profile visible.

The last one was a picture of them sleeping together.

Yes, just sleeping together, properly covered with a blanket, nothing exposed.

But the implications were enormous!

In a single night, it stirred up a storm in the media circle.

"Miss, breakfast is ready."

"Okay."

The next day, Ye Mingmei got up very early, tidied up, and leisurely sat in the dining room having breakfast.

Her face showed a slight exhaustion.

She stayed up late looking at drafts yesterday, her head still a bit heavy.

She glanced at the time; Jin Chenye was coming to pick her up soon.

Jin Chenye had been driving her to and from work for five or six days, and Ye Mingmei had gotten used to it.

After breakfast, she left the villa ahead of time, ready to wait for Jin Chenye by the roadside.

"Buzz buzz—"

The phone rang.

This early, who could be calling her?

Ye Mingmei glanced at the caller ID, surprised.

"Senior..."

"Mingmei, listen to me. I’m stuck in traffic and won’t make it for a while. Stay in the villa today and don’t go out." Jin Chenye’s tense voice came through the phone clearly.

Ye Mingmei paused, just about to ask why, when she realized she had already walked out the gate of the Ye Family Villa. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Before she could ask Jin Chenye what was happening, a group of waiting journalists surrounded her.

Countless microphones and cameras pointed at her face, and Ye Mingmei froze.

"Miss Ye, do you have any explanation regarding the photos online? Are you really together with Mr. Yu?"

"The sudden news of your relationship, is it because the wedding is near?"

"Does Mrs. Ye approve of Mr. Yu as a son-in-law? Will the Ye and Yu families have more collaborations due to the alliance?"

"Previously, there were rumors online about Mr. Yu planning to acquire shares of the Dan Group, which seems like a showdown with Mr. Jie. Will you support Mr. Yu?"

"..."

The reporters’ questions came one after another, and Ye Mingmei stood in the middle, completely bewildered.

She still held the phone, but couldn’t hear Jin Chenye’s voice anymore.

Her mind was filled with the first question the reporters had asked.

The photos online... her and Yu Xiuzhun...

What photos?!

The color drained from Ye Mingmei’s face instantly, her hands clenched tightly to her clothes, and she turned around, anxiously wanting to retreat back to the villa.

The reporters who had waited all night wouldn’t let her leave so easily.

The direction to the gate of the Ye family was already blocked.

At the gate, several bodyguards tried to protect Ye Mingmei but were stopped by the reporters outside.

There were too many reporters, and they couldn’t use force. The bodyguards were at a loss for what to do.

"Miss Ye, your silence—is it an implicit admission of your relationship with Mr. Yu?" A reporter squeezed next to Ye Mingmei.

"We’re not dating!"

Ye Mingmei shouted, her emotions slightly out of control.

She had nothing to do with Yu Xiuzhun, no relationship at all!

How could there suddenly be photos of them online, and what kind of photos...
